Technological Advancement in Object Oriented Programming Paradigm for Software Development

摘要

Object oriented programming paradigm in software development is one of the most popular methods in the information technology industry and academia as well as in many other forms of engineering design. Software development is a field of engineering that came into existence owing to the various problems that developers of software faced while developing software projects. This paper analyzes some of the most important technological innovations in object oriented software engineering in recent times. The advancements in Object technologies that have been analyzed here include object cloning, introspection and reflection, class co-evolution, global software development contexts, interfaces, namespaces, query-able source codes, meta-model for generating design alternatives, magic methods, design pattern detection, auto-active functional verification, cohesion, coupling and Separation of Concerns (SoC). From our analysis we predict further advancements in object technologies towards game development, metrics for software design analysis, addition to fundamental Object oriented programming language features and distributed software development.
